| S/W Mr.Hives. X180 3729 C3/C26.7.20. With reference to the attached letter, does this depend upon getting the new car ready for Mr. Royce? The position in regard to the new body is that we have this morning received various requirements from Mr. Royce which make it necessary for a special body to be built, as the body we had going through and which is well forward, would not be suitable. So that we are now going into the question of getting a body built according to Mr. Royce's requirements, and the quickest time we can get it through in. We are afraid we are not likely to get a body built and finished in less than 10 weeks. Enc. Letter from Darracqs of 23.7.20. [STAMP TEXT] SN{Mr Sanderson} C. RECEIVED JUL 27 1920 [SIGNATURE] M | ||
